Jimmy Overton speaks to Rotary Club

During the regular meeting of the Waynesboro-East Augusta Rotary Club that meets at 7 a.m. each Tuesday at Summit Square Jimmy Overton (a.k.a. Jimmy O) a local musician, spoke to a group of almost 30 local Rotary members about the "Classic Cinema Club" that he helped start in the Spring of 2010 and continues to grow.

The "Classic Cinema Club" has almost 30 members and meets the first and third Mondays in Waynesboro. Jimmy O suggested that anyone interested in coming out to a club meeting should send an e-mail to: info@classiccinemaclub.com for more information. A typical meeting involves watching a film and then talking about the storyline and also the technical aspects of the picture including the lighting, the sound, the location settings, etc.

Jimmy is now also involved in movie production in addition to his career in music. He sees this ambition as a very rewarding, team-building venture and filmed a movie that successfully premiered at the Gateway Theater last year. He is producing a second movie called "A Place To Call My Own" that will be released this fall. The movie is set in Pinewood, S.C. and parts of the film are being shot at the old News-Virginian building in Waynesboro.

Jimmy O was born in Ada, Okla. and moved to Virginia when his family transferred positions within the Salvation Army. When his parents moved back to Oklahoma in 1975, Jimmy decided to stay in the Charlottesville area and pursue his dream of a career in music and he has made his livelihood in music performance. As he is getting older, he is focusing on another of his passions, and that is cinema work.

You may contact Jimmy O for music projects at 866-454-6696, or find information at his website, www.jimmyovirginia.com. He started off the Rotary program with one of his popular cover songs, "King of the Road!"
